The full album previews were posted. Concept B photos will be the jacket covers for the member version CDs. You can follow the links to different (Japanese) store benefits through the "Enemy" website which has been updated (and looks really cool)!
Following the previously released "Enemy" Opening Trailer, the MV Teasers 'Pain' & 'Break' were released. The music video is set to be released on 30th July 2025!
